Responsibilities
- Systems Transformation: Redesign the systems that power customer operations - chatbot, knowledge base, help center, agent tools - to be conducive to support as a growth enabler, not merely a resolution function.
- Growth Integration: Design and operationalize revenue/LTV-generating motions within customer interactions - retention saves, cross-sell prompts, engagement nudges, proactive outreach - while maintaining customer trust.
- Process Design (First Principles): Analyze operational data, identify root causes, and redesign processes from first principles. Question whether a process should exist before optimizing it.
- AI & Automation Strategy: Partner with technical teams to shape investment in AI-assisted operational infrastructure. Design for dual outcomes: customer satisfaction AND growth enablement in the same interaction.
- Lifecycle Integration: Connect operations systems into the broader lifecycle architecture - ensuring that support interactions are informed by and contribute to the customer's lifecycle state.
- Measurement & ROI: Define success metrics for the transformation. Measure LTV lift from operations interactions, efficiency gains from systems redesign, and quality outcomes.
Requirements
- Experience transforming customer operations systems - chatbot strategy, knowledge architecture, self-serve design, AI-powered support

- Commercial instinct - understands how to embed growth motions into service interactions without compromising customer trust
- Data fluency - can read operational data, identify patterns, build the business case for transformation
- Systems design capability - can spec and direct technical builds (doesn't need to code, but needs to architect)
- Change management experience - has transformed how existing teams work, not just built greenfield
- Experience in fintech, banking, or subscription businesses where support directly impacts retention and revenue
